The App for Writers Who Hate Apps

"I open a tab, see a blank page, and I’m already typing."

Like a private notebook

Open your browser and start typing. When you’re finished, easily copy or export your work as .txt or .html. Your writing stays on your device, not in the cloud.

Never lose a single word

Your work is auto-saved in your browser as you type — no need to remember to click “Save.” Write freely, knowing your drafts are continuously saved.

No fuss, all flow

We built a minimalist text editor for a reason: so you can write more and tinker less. Get work done like never before. Nothing gets in the way of you and your flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this writing app free?

Yes, Online Writing App is free to use. Use it to work on your next novel, blog post, research paper, or whatever it is that you're working on right now. It’s meant to help you shut out distractions and focus on your words.

How does this writing app work?

Online Writing App is a text editor you use directly in your web browser. There’s nothing to install. No account to create. Just hit the "Start writing" button and let the words flow. Your work saves automatically, so you can return to it — even if you close the tab.

How do I export or copy my documents?

Each document can be easily exported in two ways. You can copy the text to your clipboard, or you can export your work as a file. Export as .txt if you want plain, unformatted text, or as .html if you want to keep your formatting (such as headings, bold, or lists). Just use the export or copy options in the sidebar to save your work in the format you prefer.

Where is my writing saved when I use the text editor?

Your writing is stored locally in your browser's storage (or, more specifically, in an instance of an IndexedDB database on your phone, tablet, or computer). It never leaves your device or gets uploaded to any server.

Will I lose my work if I clear my cookies and browser data?

Yes, clearing your browser data, such as cookies and local storage, will delete your saved writing. Online Writing App lets you copy your writing to your clipboard or export it as a .txt or .html file. Although you will only lose your work if you clear your browser data, consider exporting important documents regularly.

Can I access my writing from another device?

Since your writing is stored locally in your browser, you can't access it from other devices. However, you can copy and paste your work manually.

What browsers are supported?

Our online text editor works on all major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Note that if you use the editor in private or incognito mode, your work will not be saved once you close the tab.
